Here is the output from the terminal .... I did not bother specifying the sound device .....
[user@Dell ~]$ recordmydesktop -windowid $(xwininfo |grep "Window id:"|sed -e "s/xwininfo\:\ Window id:\ // ;s/\ .*//") -fps 15

When played back I still have approx 1 frame every 7 seconds.
I wonder if it has anything to do with running it on KDE4?
